Why does my macbook air send chinese letters in text to my android friends? This is starting to happen more often.
MacBook Air, iOS 10.0.2
In System Preferences/Language & Region is Chinese listed as a Preferred language?
No. English is the only language listed in that area.
Hi,
Do they appear to be Chinese characters at your end or do they arrive as Chinese characters ?
If your Contacts see Chinese Characters when you have sent something else it might be because they don't have the Font you sent the message in.

I have noticed this from Messages to android as well happens sometimes when there is an apostrophe
from Message it change the ' to a ’ automatically.
here is the message I sent that consistently causes it:
doesn’t bother me, i hate plugin in head phones in my phone the cord gets all jacked when ever i turn my head
from OSX Messages:
is received like: (note the special ’ in the 'did it show....' did not cause the Chinese characters)
from the iPhone it looks like: (and works fine)
Hopefully they can get this fixed so I can start using contractions again.
update: That message didn't have a problem when it was sent from someone else Messages. Although they did have a different trigger Message with an ' that caused the error consistently:
What's a good low carb fast food? we always go to in n out, zoes, some other greek place bonus
For the chinese problem, this seems to be a glitch with AT&T. A possible fix:
chinese letters sent to android users
